You step out of your car and the red rock edges of Sedona seem to take a breath — sharp ridges and smooth sandstone curving like an open palm. The guide consults a small map, then points uphill; the rocks hum with dry wind and the distant highway hums like a distant tide. For two hours the Sedona Chakra Vortex Tour moves between pockets of high energy: short climbs, open scrapes of sky, and wind that feels as if it were arranging your thoughts.
